Ooh tomorrow's the Day!
Selamat Hari Raya Eid Fitri to all. Apologies for all d wrongs,sins,crimes,annoyance,irritation etc. I've ever caused to every single soul that knows me,knows you and the don't knows yous and mes.

Time can pass very fast when you just start to savour the moment.
I thought the first day of fasting was just yesterday.
Ok no it was a month ago. I remember persevering not to break fast when all the rest around me did. Especially after a run around the camp. Followed by a gym session. Followed by soccer. Followed by the endless repairing of junk trucks. Followed by a 3km walk out of camp. Followed by a 15 minutes walk from interchange to home. Followed by the endless speech on the radio. And then comes the Azan.

But time can be very slow when you're bored.
Was thinking..
I remember that never-ending in-flight information screen that tells passengers how far they've come, and how many miles remain. It's so sloooooowwwwwwwwwwww. Stare at it intently enough and time goes backwards. And do we really need to know that the outside temperature is -59 degrees Fahrenheit? Does this information comfort us with the knowledge that should we crash and somehow survive, death by exposure willbe swift and merciful? Also, Celcius conversion seems unnecessary,as around -59, electrons probably crawl to a stop, like Ping-Pong balls on a basement floor. Ok, i know it's 222.6 degrees Kelvin,-50.56 degrees Celcius.
